Where exactly is the benefit in bumping/having dates on manpages at all?

I mean, does anyone actually notice that the date changed (by 
remembering the date of the previous version) and think, "oh great, 
there's been a content change, let's check that out"?

I've always found .Dd to be more of a hassle to maintain than something 
that actually does something for me. But maybe I'm just too ignorant. :)
